This comprehensive yet intimate survey of World War II divides the conflict into its European and Pacific theaters and encompasses 15 individual documentaries on four DVDs. The two discs on the European front examine the desert war in North Africa, the beachhead at Anzio, D-Day and the Normandy invasion, the air war, the Battle of the Bulge, and the pursuit of the Nazis to the Rhine. The Pacific section looks at jungle warfare, island-hopping, the brutal battle for Peleliu, the Allies' return to the Philippines, the air war, the final battle at Okinawa, and the career of Admiral William "Bull" Halsey.
